It's hard enough losing the baby weight after giving birth to one child -- so imagine the tremendous battle faced by Nadya Suleman (also known as 'Octomom') to lose the astounding 145 pounds she gained during her pregnancy with her eight youngest children. Sure, 40 of those pounds disappeared after she gave birth to the octuplets, but that still leaves 105 pounds to contend with. Amazingly, she did it -- according to the recent issue of US Weekly, the 34-year-old, 5-foot-7-inch Octomom is back down to 125 pounds.

I know what you're thinking -- just how does a mother of 14 young children find time to diet and exercise? She had to trade a bit of sleep for the sake of fitness by heading to the gym at midnight while a nanny minded the children. Once there, she did strength training but no cardio because "I get enough of that with the kids," she tells US Weekly.

And as for her diet? She relies on five nutritious, protein-rich meals a day, and chooses from household staples like oatmeal, lean protein and even sushi.

She's not the only one -- Sarah Michelle Gellar is already back in shape just one month after giving birth!
